Two new cases of pseudomalignant myositis ossificans of the hand are reported. This lesion may be mistaken for a malignancy. The benign diagnosis is confirmed by the histologically characteristic zone phenomenon. Local excision cured both patients, without evidence of recurrence at 18 and 24 months postoperatively.
